If it is so tough then don't do it. As Jiri said nobody is forcing these people to become Olympic athletes.
I don't think it is crazy to hope that Canada can do better than setting Canadian records and finishing 25th.
Personally if the option is to increase funding or continue these results I hope we slash funding immensely and only fund those sports/athletes that we are competitive in.
